“Buhat pasultihon dili sulti pabuhaton," loosely translates to actions speak louder than words, or “walk the talk.”
Learning a Bisaya language might seem intimidating, or nonessential to some, but many popular tourist destinations in the country are in Bisaya-speaking areas. Though many Visayans speak English, a basic foundation in Bisaya enables you to connect to people on a deeper level. Luckily Baba Bisaya is holding online lessons once a week this September to November. They are offering classes on Hiligaynon (spoken in Panay and Negros), Cebuano (Central Visayas and Northern Mindano), and Waray-waray (Samar and Leyte). Follow them on Instagram at bababisaya and keep watch for free online events prior to start of classes. There will be an IG Live Q&A on August 20 and a free open house on August 31. Last day to enroll is September 2!

📍 San Juanico Bridge, Samar and Leyte, Philippines
🗓️ April 1, 2023
❓ The San Juanico Bridge is a 2.16-kilometer long bridge that connects the provinces of Samar and Leyte in the Philippines. It was the longest bridge in the country until the construction of CCLEX, Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (8.9 kms). The bridge was built in 1973 and was once called the Marcos Bridge, after former President Ferdinand Marcos who ordered its construction as a gift to his wife, Imelda.
Today, the San Juanico Bridge is a popular tourist destination. Visitors can walk or drive across the bridge and enjoy the panoramic views of the San Juanico Strait.
⁉️ I have always wanted to visit this since I was a kid. Reading about historical places in books and then being able to visit them personally sure feels like a big achievement.

"My Place is Your Place, Liloan is the best!"
-John Valiant Laurete
Want to know the history, the hidden spots and the people of Liloan, Southern Leyte?
Liloan's town center is located at the Northern part of Panaon Island which is connected to the mainland of Leyte by a bridge (called Wa-Wa bridge).
Liloan is derived from the local term lilo, meaning "whirlpool". Whirlpools can be seen at Panaon Strait, the navigable narrow waterway between the mainland of Leyte and Panaon Island.
Liloan has many hidden spots where you can chill and enjoy! Each destination gives you the best choice to be part of the Liloan. These are the following interest places:
1. Molopolo White Beach
2. Tagbak Marine Park
3. Wawa Bridge Beach
Actually there's a lot of hidden spots but these are the major ones that I can only share it to you.
"Molopolo Beach"
This is the number 1 famous beach of Southern Leyte. Is this real? Does this really exist? Eventually, your expectations will reveal the truth that this place is really cool in reality. Lots of people from other places have gone to this perfect place for recreation, relaxation and vacation. Fresh air, breathtaking view and away from the city are the parameters you really need to unwind of some things inside your head.
This beach can be your mini Boracay if you can't go to Boracay.
"Tagbak Marine Park"
The second famous spot because of its clear water. Can be nice to have fun with your family, friends and relatives. Exploring here can calm your life if you are suffering from something that isn’t good.
"Wawa Bride Beach"
The third hidden spot that you can enjoy swimming, hanging out with friends and the breathtaking view because of the whirlpool. But there's a boundary between the water and you because of the strong current, if you want to swim. A lot of tourists came here just to explore the view of Liloan.
"People of Liloan"
The Municipality of Liloan has been organized by such a great officials. They managed to maintain the beauty of Liloan. We liloanons can be the best people you can meet with. We are humbly for our own and we help each other where we have morals and values that we show to other people.
Nature has so many things to offer, it can create an ambiance of serenity and relaxation. Its beauty an abundance needs our care and preservation, so we can promote ecological balance in our environment. Save the nature and educate people to increase awareness and understanding.

Life in Cuatro Islas
Cuatro Islas is a Spanish collective term for a group of 4 small islands found in the southwest coast of Leyte, Philippines; belonging to the towns of Inopacan and Hindang.
Surrounded with pristine white sand beaches and clear waters, Cuatro Islas is a favorite tourist destination in Leyte, with one of the islands (Digyo) being dubbed as “Little Boracay”.
We may hear and read a lot about the amenities a tourist destination can offer, but not enough about its people and their adversities.
So when I participated in a Coastal Resource Assessment of these islands (which is based on people’s perception, regardless of hard scientific data), I learned a great deal concerning the people of Himokilan, Mahaba, Apid, and Digyo. Life surrounded by the sea sounds adventurous and appealing, but in reality, islanders are faced with day-to-day challenges just to survive.
⌗
LIVING CONDITIONS
Life there is harsh.
All the islands have a similar problem with freshwater- the residents only rely on the rain for drinking, bathing, and washing clothes. They have water tanks for storage, provided by the local government unit (LGU) which are not enough to sustain their consumption. Attempts on drilling for underground freshwater is futile- there’s only seawater and sand below. It's difficult to get water during the dry season, especially with news of a mild El Niño, so the residents have to constantly travel to the mainland (Inopacan or Hindang) to buy gallons of water. With that, they have to spend on gasoline for the pumpboat, labor for transport in the mainland, and etc. Majority of them say that the least the LGU can do is to provide a central transportation service (which will allow them to save money and effort) but wasn’t proposed by any of the residents, more so by their government officials.
Most islanders have electricity in their homes, since each of the islands have a central solar panel, but this is not sustainable for everyone to use, so they resort to using gas lamps. Those who can afford have their own generators but are barely used due to increasing gasoline prices in the market (we have the TRAIN Law to blame for that).
I even came across a family who doesn't have their own comfort room. If you were living this kind of life, just imagine how uncomfortable that is- having to ask permission from others just to poop or pee.
⌗
LIVELIHOOD
Men and women have different perceptions when it comes to their livelihood, as the women are more focused on activities that can be done in the households, while the men venture out in the morning and don’t come back until late in the afternoon or evening.
However, almost all residents, including the children, are involved in gleaning (panginhas).
Throughout the years, the catch has been declining as the population of harvesters kept increasing. According to them, there is an existing crisis of kinhason (mollusks or seashells) because even the juveniles getharvested. There is no control/management on the harvesting of macroinvertebrate resources in the buffer zones (island peripheries), unlike in the marine sanctuary where harvesting is prohibited.
The women, in particular, are involved in romblon harvesting and weaving. Romblon is a species of fan palm distributed throughout Cuatro Islas, which is harvested for its leaves. The leaves are cut into long pieces before sun-drying (pagbuwad) which are then sold locally in bundles for a cheap price.
These serve as raw materials for making handwoven sleeping mats (banig), baskets, bags, hats, slippers, etc. Other residents make the banig and baskets on their own and sell these for additional source of income.
When asked if there is an increase in their net income, I was answered with, “Ni taas man tuod ang presyo sa banig namo diri, pero ni taas man pod ang presyo sa palaliton.” (“The price for each banig may have increased, but the prices of all commodities have also increased.”)
With or without tourism, there is no change in the residents’ income and livelihood opportunities. That’s as much as what I’ve gathered from them.
In Apid Island, most of those I interviewed were fishermen.
Fish catch has been declining through the years- even with the marine sanctuary in place. Fishermen expressed their anger for the big fishing vessels (mga dagkong panagatan) that illegally take fish from the island's waters. They can't really reprimand these outsiders out of fear: "Di mi ka badlong kay basin pamusilon pa hinuon mi ma’am." (We can’t reprimand them because they might shoot us, ma’am.”)
Because of these vessels, fisherfolks have fewer catch. It's very unfair for them. They even have to set aside part of their catch for consumption, so they're left with very little to sell. It’s been happening for a long while, and they claim that the LGU knows about the illegal activity, but doesn’t really do anything: "Gi pang-suholan man gud siguro sila ma’am" (They [LGU] might be paid by these vessels).
To sum up, there's no concrete or significant action from the LGU to help residents with their current living conditions and livelihood. The way I see it, the government benefits a lot from the tourism activities in Cuatro Islas while the residents of the islands remain poor and others- even helpless.
Despite the development in tourism, there is no genuine development- that which includes the people.

Ultimate Adventure in Oslob for just one day!
Oslob is a municipality down South of Cebu City, it is a very famous municipality because of its tourist attractions which are Whale Shark and Tumalog falls.
The Whale Sharks in Oslob is very famous due to the fact and the one of a kind experiences wherein you could swim together with the whale sharks and also you could get close but not closer since it could possibly harm the gentle giants.
And the Tumalog falls in Oslob is also a popular tourist destination, people are flocking to Oslob to enjoy the whale sharks and to relax at Tumalog falls too. A lot of tourists who booked from a tour agency would choose the whale shark and tumalog falls package since its just within Oslob, also because it is a perfect combination, a world class experience with the whale sharks and afterwards taking a dip in the beautiful falls of Oslob.
Tumalog Falls in Oslob
What makes this Tumalog Falls interesting is that it’s shaped like a curtain of waters falling from umbrella-like rock formations. Since the water is separated by several rocks, the water drop is not that strong compared to other waterfalls. But that’s the beauty of it. It’s different from other waterfalls.
Whale Sharks in Oslob
Whale sharks are known as the gentle giants. They are the largest fish in the sea, measuring up to 40 feet. Whale sharks are locally known as butanding.
They can be seen in a few places on earth, including Australia and select places in Asia. In the Philippines, whale sharks can be seen in Cebu, Sorsogon, Leyte and even in Palawan. Of these places, Cebu and Sorsogon have the more established whale shark tourism.
The whale shark tour in Oslob, Cebu, is one of the most popular adventures here in the Philippines. Tourists from all over the world flock to this little spot in the Visayas region for this once-in-a-lifetime experience: swimming and taking pictures with the gentle giants. Swimming with the whale sharks is acceptable, given that certain responsible practices are followed.

Updated List of Domestic Destinations waiving RT-PCR tests for fully vaxxed visitors as of November 2021
Out of Town Blog Updated List of Domestic Destinations waiving RT-PCR tests for fully vaxxed visitors as of November 2021
DOT releases latest list of domestic destinations waiving RT-PCR tests for fully vaxxed visitors
Team Out of Town Blog Hub (Outoftownblog.com) – As of November 13, 2021, the list of domestic destinations that have waived the COVID-19 test requirement for fully vaccinated visitors is fast growing; an indication that the country’s tourism industry is slowly getting back on its feet.
Domestic Destinations waiving RT-PCR photo by Lyra Joson via Unsplash
The Department of Tourism (DOT) made this statement on Saturday (Nov. 13) as it released an updated list of domestic destinations which no longer require negative results of RT-PCR tests for fully vaccinated tourists. These include popular destinations like Baguio, Bohol, Cebu, Clark, Subic, and, starting on November 16, Boracay Island and Guimaras.
In lieu of the RT-PCR test, these destinations require only vaccination cards issued by the Department of Health (DOH) or the local government unit (LGU) where the vaccination was administered.
“With the lifting of the testing requirements for fully vaccinated visitors to these destinations, travel has become more affordable and accessible for domestic tourists, especially with coming holiday season,” Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo-Puyat said.
However, she reminded tourists to observe minimum health and safety protocols when traveling.
As we expect more tourists going to Boracay Island, and other destinations that have eased travel requirements for fully vaccinated individuals in the coming weeks, we continue to remind travelers to observe minimum health and safety protocols when visiting the spots
Bernadette Romulo-Puyat DOT Secretary
Aside from travelers, Puyat also issued a reminder to tourism businesses, workers, and other stakeholders not to be complacent with the easing of domestic travel in order to prevent COVID-19 cases from increasing–an event that could halt the country’s tourism industry recovery.
“Seeing how the reopening of tourism all over the country is helping Filipinos return to their jobs, we cannot afford a new surge of COVID-19 infections and a return to the restrictions imposed by a stricter quarantine. Let us do our individual parts to ensure that there will be no outbreaks in our destinations,” she said.
She shared that in Boracay Island alone, the vaccination rate among tourism workers reached 100.2 percent for those who have received the first dose, which means more workers—who were not included in the DOT’s initial target—are now able to return to their jobs.
As of November 13, 2021, the DOT’s list of provinces that accept vaccination cards in lieu of COVID-19 tests for travelers include:
Tarlac
Pampanga
Nueva Ecija
Camiguin (starting Nov. 15)
Batangas
Oriental Mindoro
Masbate
Camarines Norte
Iloilo
Guimaras (starting Nov. 16)
Negros Occidental
Bohol
Southern Leyte
Zamboanga del Sur
Zamboanga Sibugay
Bulacan
Cebu Province
Further, the following destinations are also accepting vaccination cards as requirements for travelers:
Boracay (starting Nov. 16)
San Vicente, Palawan
Naga City, Camarines Sur
Baguio City, Benguet
Cebu City and Mandaue City
Clark Freeport Zone
Subic Bay Freeport Zone
Dingalan, Aurora
Maasin City, Leyte
Ormoc City, Leyte
Calbayog City, Samar
Mati, Davao Oriental

Everyone in the Philippines has been waiting for this season, especially the students (No more class! It’s 3 months vacation! Yehey!). And by now, many are very excited for their out-of-town beach getaways, friends and family alike. Sparkling crystal clear water, shimmering powdery white sand, warm blue skies, jaw-dropping majestic sunrise, postcard-perfect backdrop, and gorgeous beach bummers — Oh! Summer is love, don’t you agree?
Canigao is an islet located in the Philippines, near the municipality of Matalom, Leyte. The area is known for abundant fishing grounds and scenic coral reef areas suitable for diving.
Once known as the fishermen’s sanctuary in the municipality of Matalom, Canigao Island has become a major tourist destination in Eastern Visayas since 2005 and has gained overwhelming popularity recently.
Well, becoming a traveler is not just about setting foot in a new place and taking selfies, but discovering and experiencing the beauty of nature — the essence of travelling, as they say.
Set up a hammock in any of the sturdy trees. Once done, lay down, close your eyes, feel the cool sea breeze, listen to the soothing sound of ocean waves and chirping of migratory birds, and doze off to sleep for a few minutes to rejuvenate your senses. Alternatively, you can get your favorite book and read with the sea breeze on your face. Or, you can just lay down and look at the beautiful surrounding — different types of tree species, clear turquoise water, sparkling white sand, warm skies, rare cloud formation, and so much more.

3 cities, 3 provinces in E. Visayas reopen to tourists
#PHnews: 3 cities, 3 provinces in E. Visayas reopen to tourists
TACLOBAN CITY – At least three cities and three provinces in Eastern Visayas have opened their doors to domestic tourists after a year-long movement restriction due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.
Based on the advisory released by the Department of Tourism (DOT) regional office Friday, these areas have reopened to regional and domestic tourists following the National Inter-Agency Task Force Resolution No. 101 uniformed protocols for land, air, and sea travels.
These areas include Biliran, Southern Leyte, and Eastern Samar provinces; Catbalogan City in Samar, Tacloban City in Leyte, and Maasin in Southern Leyte, said DOT Eastern Visayas regional director Karina Rosa Tiopes.
Requirements for the entry of tourists vary for each province and city.
In Biliran, regional and domestic tourists who would want to visit the place would need to present a valid identification card (ID), and have to undergo health assessments upon arrival in the province.
Those who will stay for 24 hours or longer have to present proof of booking from an accommodation facility or proof of sponsorship from a Biliran resident where he or she would stay.
Those without proof of booking will be facilitated by the tourism assistance booth at the provincial border.
Biliran province takes pride in its tourist destinations such as the Sambawan Island in Maripipi Island, the shifting sand and the sunken chapel at Higatangan Island, and various waterfalls like the Tinago and Tomalistis Falls in Caibiran town, and the Ulan-ulan and Recoletos Falls in Almeria.
The province has also DOT-accredited farm-tourism sites such as SofTea Garden in Bato village, Biliran town, and Canaan Hill Farm and Honey Garden in Uson village in Caibiran.
For Southern Leyte province, requirements include valid ID, Southern Leyte QR Code, and health assessment upon arrival.
The province is popular for its diving sites located along Sogod Bay. These dive sites stretch from the town of Macrohon to the historic island town of Limasawa, then across to the towns of San Francisco and Pintuyan in Panaon Island.
Another popular destination in the province is the twin islands of San Pedro and San Pablo in Hinunangan town.
Those who want to visit Eastern Samar should present their valid ID to explore their popular tourist destination such as Calicoan Island, Sulangan Island for pilgrims, Minasangay Eco-Park in Balangkayan town, Canhugas Nature Park and Guinduyanan Cove in Hernani town, and Divinubo and Ando Island in Borongan City.
In Catbalogan City, visitors are required to show valid ID, local QR code, and health assessment upon arrival.
Catbalogan, the capital of Samar, is known for waterfalls, caves, and beaches.
In Tacloban, requirements include valid ID, local QR code, and health assessment upon arrival.
Attraction in the city includes the San Juanico Bridge, the Yolanda Memorial Sites, and Sto. Niňo Shrine, Price Mansion, and the Leyte Provincial Capitol.
Some of the top hotel or accommodation facilities and restaurants are also located in the city.
A local cruise operator in the city also offers a sunset excursion at the San Juanico Bridge via boat ride.
In Maasin City, requirements include local QR Code, valid ID, and health assessment upon arrival.
Must-see destinations in the city are pilgrims’ sites such as the Monte Cueva Shrine, Our Lady of Assumption Statue, and the Maasin Cathedral built in the 1700s.
“To give due consideration to the new carrying capacity, we highly advise that a pre-booking be secured through the provincial and city tourism offices before traveling,” Tiopes stated in the advisory.
The contact number of provincial and city tourism officers are posted on their official Facebook pages and DOT Eastern Visayas social media account.
Tiopes added that Leyte, Northern Samar, and Samar are not yet included in the list as they have not yet issued executive orders for the entry protocols and on allowing tourists to enter their respective provinces. (PNA)
